Chapter 289 Termination of the Contract
"Okay, let's see you tomorrow night." Chen Hao said with a smile.
After saying that, he joked again, "Don't let me go if something suddenly happens tomorrow."
She knew that Wang Shu was very busy at work, so maybe he would let me go if something suddenly happened. Then he made a joke.
“No.” Wang Shu smiled, “I only have time these two days, and then I have to attend the symposium for the Olympic opening ceremony, as well as promote the movie and prepare to go to Cannes, plus I have to film again, and there is basically no time later.”
"The Olympic opening ceremony symposium? Have you been invited to go?" Chen Hao was a little surprised.
Although she is not a director, as the first sister of Chengtian, she has heard about the selection of directors for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games.
As far as she knew, the directors who could be invited to participate in the selection were all from academic circles or from within the system. A wild man like Wang Shu should not even be qualified.
But after thinking about it for a moment, it makes sense.
Although Wang Shu came from a wild background, he has made achievements after all. It is really unreasonable if such a great director is not even qualified for selection.
"Invited." Wang Shu sighed and said, "There are so many things stacked up together, so I will be very busy later."
He did not tell Chen Hao that he did not want to participate in the selection of directors for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games. It's okay to talk to Han Sanping about this kind of thing, but talking about it to others will easily cause unnecessary trouble.
A lot of news in the entertainment industry will become more and more evil as it spreads. Originally, he didn’t want to be a foil to Zhang Yimou because he had too much work, but as it spread, it turned into him being dissatisfied with his superiors.
Even a great director must be cautious about his words and deeds when it comes to matters related to the above.
When Chen Hao heard what Wang Shu said, he couldn't help but complain in a sour tone: "As far as I know, the directors who can be called to participate in the Olympic selection are all great directors."
Her last words about the great director were beautiful words. The main character was praised by everyone but not offended by anyone.
“Many directors have no chance to participate in the selection. From your tone, it sounds like they don’t want to go yet?”
“No, don’t talk nonsense.” Wang Shu denied it on the spot. , and then said righteously, "It is an honor for me to be selected to participate in the Olympic selection."
"I am very happy to have this opportunity, and I have absolutely no idea of not wanting to go."
< br>"Haha." Chen Hao was very happy when he heard this and said with a smile: "I believe what you said, but can you not be so funny?"
"Well, I'm not being funny, I'm telling the truth." Wang Shu continued seriously.
Chen Hao shook his head speechlessly and said: "Forget it, I won't tell you more, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." Wang Shu responded.
The two hung up the phone.
Chen Hao listened to the busy signal on his cell phone, and the smile on his face when he was talking to Wang Shu turned melancholy after a while.
The next day, the audition was the same.
After a day of tossing, the role was decided.
Zhang Hanyu plays the male protagonist Tie Boss, Fu Dalong plays the male villain Xiao Qiang, and Chen Kun plays Tie Chengjun.
As for Liu Ye
Wang Shu originally played Xiao Qiang The role of Qiang was given to him, but because of Liu Ye's status in the film industry, he would definitely not be paired with Zhang Hanyu.
He came to the audition with only one goal, the male lead.
If he is not the leading actor, he will not appear.
Of course, if the leading actor is a big-name actor such as Andy Lau or Chow Yun-fat, it is not impossible for him to play a supporting role.
Just Zhang Hanyu, no.
It’s not that Liu Ye looks down on Zhang Hanyu, but that he is dubbing Zhang Hanyu this time. In the future, other directors, big and small, will ask him to dub actors with lower status than him.
With supporting roles, it is very likely that the roles played in the future will only be supporting roles, and it will be difficult to have leading roles.
This development trend is not good for his future future.
Therefore, Zhang Hanyu cannot be paired with him.
This practice is very common in the entertainment industry. Many big-name actors would rather not film than act as co-stars for actors with lower status than them.
Because as long as you act as a co-star once, not only will your role with the protagonist gradually drift away, but your status will also decrease.
Regarding the role of the male protagonist Tie Boss, Liu Ye never competed with Zhang Hanyu, nor was he dissatisfied.
He knew in his heart that Zhang Hanyu and Wang Shu had a human relationship.
In his opinion, Zhang Hanyu was able to get this role only because of Wang Shu's care.
This kind of thing is common in the entertainment industry.
Other actors who were eliminated also knew that Zhang Hanyu most likely got the role because of Wang Shu's care.
They thought they were better than Zhang Hanyu in terms of acting skills and celebrity status, but they lost to the other party during the audition process.
There is only one answer to this kind of unreasonable thing.
I can only envy this answer.
Who made Zhang Hanyu lend a helping hand when Wang Shu first debuted?
This kind of thing can only be envied.
Not only did they think so, Zhang Hanyu also thought so in his heart.
He knew that he could get the role mainly because of Wang Shu's care.
Otherwise, with so many talented actors here, he simply can’t compete.
He felt a little guilty, but he didn't want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
For "Buried Alive" in 2005, he failed to win the award in Berlin.
This time, "The Crowd" will once again go to Europe's top three. Not only does he want to make up for this regret, but he also doesn't want to miss this opportunity.
Although the filming of "Human Mountain" has not yet started, and there is no word on whether it will be able to go to Europe, but in Zhang Hanyu's eyes, it is a certainty that the art film directed by Wang Shu will go to Europe.
No one wants to miss this kind of art film that has the opportunity to go to the three major European films.
So he was grateful.
I am very grateful to Wang Shu for giving him another chance.
After Chen Kun left Yishu Company, he immediately called Zhou Xun.
"The audition is over and I got the role." Chen Kun said first.
“Is it a supporting role throughout the whole story?” Zhou Xun answered with a smile.
"How do you know?" Chen Kun asked subconsciously, and then suddenly realized it.
Zhou Xun could know that only Wang Shu had told her.
"Haha." Zhou Xun smiled and said, "I called Director Wang yesterday and asked about your role."
"." Chen Kun was speechless for a while and couldn't help complaining, "So you knew last night that Director Wang would give me this role?"
"Otherwise?" Zhou Xun asked with a smile, and then asked, "Who are the other characters?"< br>
Chen Kun felt helpless. He had no friendship with Wang Shu. He could only envy Zhou Xun in his heart for having such a good relationship with Wang Shu. He responded: "The male lead is Zhang Hanyu, and the second male lead is Fu Da. "Long"
"Where's Liu Ye? Why isn't he?" Zhou Xun wondered.
Chen Kun explained: "Director Wang assigned the male lead to Zhang Hanyu, and then intentionally gave the second male lead to Liu Ye, but he refused."
"That's it." Chen Kun doesn't need to explain why Liu Ye Will refuse, Zhou Xun has already guessed the reason.
After a short pause, he joked with a smile: "I only got a small supporting role. Isn't there a big gap in my heart?"
Chen Kun smiled bitterly and said: "The actors who auditioned They are all talented people, and many of them are actors who have a relationship with Director Wang. "
"To be honest, I initially thought that Director Wang didn't eliminate me in the first round because of your face. , and in all likelihood will be eliminated in the second round.”
"Unexpectedly, not only was he not eliminated, but he also got a role."
"Although this role is only a small supporting role, the whole story started from him, and he is a character with memory points." "If I performed brilliantly, even if I don't have many roles, I can still be remembered by the audience."
When Chen Kun said this, he paused and then sighed: "Now that I think about it. I think, with so many people competing, I was able to get this role because of your connections."
"Haha, you discovered me so quickly?" Zhou Xun teased.
The two are good friends, and such a joke would not be a loss of face.
"I am self-aware." Chen Kun said helplessly.
He has also played leading roles in films directed by other directors, such as the film "The Door" co-starring Yang Mi.
But movies directed by great directors like Wang Shu are different. His status is far from enough.
For example, this time, there were many people competing for the role he got, but it finally fell into his hands.
He didn't think he was chosen because he was better than others. The most likely reason was that Wang Shu gave him such a role because of Zhou Xun's face.
"So...you have to fawn over me from now on." Zhou Xun joked.
"When will you return to Beijing? I'll treat you to a big dinner." Chen Kun said immediately.
“Didn’t you say this before? Why do you say it again?” Zhou Xun was confused.
“I want to curry favor with you.” Chen Kun said with a smile.
"." Zhou Xun was speechless for a while, "I'm joking with you, do you really take it seriously?"
"Haha, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, I just want to thank you anyway." Chen Kun said.
"Hey, let's talk about it after I return to Beijing. I'll call you when I have time. You also know that the main reason I came back to Beijing is to promote the movie, and then I have to return to the crew. Time is tight." Zhou News said.
She was thinking that she would go to Wang Shu's house for dinner after returning to Beijing, but she was just returning to Beijing and had to return to the crew to film.
We only have a day or two, and if we gather with friends such as Chen Kun, we won’t have time to go to Wang Shu’s house for dinner.
She could only choose one of the two, and she chose to go to Wang Shu.
"Okay." Chen Kun also knew that Zhou Xun was really busy during this period, so he responded immediately.
The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
After Zhou Xun ended the call with Chen Kun, he called Wang Shu again.
“Thank you.” After answering the phone, Zhou Xun said with a smile immediately.
Although Wang Shu told her not to be so polite, Wang Shu was Wang Shu, and she couldn't really do what Wang Shu said.
"Thank you for what?" Wang Shu didn't react at the first time and asked doubtfully.
“It’s about Chen Kun, thank you for giving him the role.” Zhou Xun explained after hearing this. .
Wang Shu heard this and said helplessly: "I told you that you are welcome, why are you so polite?"
"Haha." Zhou Xun smiled and did not answer the words. He said, "I will return to Beijing in two days, and I will go directly to your home then."
"Because I have to participate in the promotion of "Terror Cruise" the next day, and I have to catch a flight in the evening."
"I only have time on the day I go back, and there will be no time after that."
< br>"Okay, I'll wait for you." Wang Shu answered with a smile.
"Want to bring you a gift?" Zhou Xun asked with a smile.
"No need, your coming is the best gift." Wang Shu said greasy words.
Zhou Xun heard this, with a smile on his face, but he complained: "Who did you learn this from?"
"Haha, I didn't learn from anyone, I'm just telling the truth. ." Wang Shu responded.
When Zhou Xun heard this, the smile on her face became even bigger. She said: "I don't believe it!"
"I miss you!" Wang Shu did not continue the topic; Speak in another way.
Hearing this, Zhou Xun's heart trembled. He didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he hurriedly escaped and said: "I won't tell you anymore, I still have things to be busy with. Goodbye."
After that, he hung up the phone.
“Huh!” After hanging up the phone, Mr. Zhou let out a long breath.
She doesn’t hate Wang Shu being like this, she even likes to expect Wang Shu to be like this in her heart.
But when Wang Shu expressed his affection, she did not dare to respond.
Because she didn’t want to delay or harm Wang Shu.
After ending the call with Zhou Xun, Wang Shu left the company and drove to the hotel Chen Hao had arranged to meet with the person he saw in the box.
Chen Kai wears light makeup, but it can't hide her enchanting temperament.
This kind of temperament is only suitable for supporting roles or starring in multiple female roles, not suitable for taking the leading role alone.
When Wang Shu arrived, Chen Hao had already ordered the food. She handed the menu to Wang Shu and said with a smile: "Just order whatever you want to eat."
"I'm not picky about food. , these are enough, there are only two of us, it would be a waste to order too much." Wang Shu answered politely.
Chen Hao nodded and asked, "Do you want to drink?"
"No, I don't drink much." Wang Shu responded with a smile.
The news that Wang Shu does not like drinking has long spread throughout the entertainment industry. Chen Hao knew this, so he did not persuade him to drink. He then smiled and said: "Then drink juice."
" Okay." Wang Shu responded confidently.
Next, the two of them chatted about trivial matters while eating their food.
While chatting, we talked about the movie "Red Cliff" again.
Chen Hao sighed and said, "I probably won't be able to act in "Red Cliff"."
"Huh?" Wang Shu pretended to be confused.
He knew about this. Chen Hao and Cheng Tian terminated their contract, and the originally planned roles were gone.
Boss Wu is not authentic. After playing, he patted his butt and even recycled the characters.
Chen Hao saw Wang Shu's confusion, and then sighed: "I have terminated my contract with Cheng Tian."
"Huh?" Wang Shu continued to pretend to be surprised.
Chen Hao saw Wang Shu's surprised expression in his eyes and continued to explain: "The contract was terminated at the end of last year, but it was just not announced."
"Because of the termination of the contract, the number of "Red Cliff" The character is gone."
"Why did Haohao terminate his contract with Chengtian?" Wang Shu asked in confusion.
Chen Hao laughed dryly and said helplessly: "Because of Fan Binbin."
Seeing Wang Shu's confusion, he continued, "Fan Binbin has been in contact with Chengtian, she will terminate her contract with Huayi soon, and then Join Chengtian."
"As the first sister."
"Uh" Wang Shu opened his mouth. Although he knew everything about this, he had to pretend not to know.
Chen Hao smiled bitterly and said: "I am the first sister of Chengtian, and Fan Binbin joins as the first sister, so who am I?"
"Furthermore, Wang Jinghua is Fan Binbin's godmother, and she is in charge of Chengtian's artists."
"After Fan Binbin comes, the company's resources will inevitably be tilted towards her."
"It's boring, let's just cancel the contract."
